Salads may be served at any point during meal, so it could be Appetizer or side dish or main course as portion with slices or pieces of Chicken Breast or Beef- for non veg eaters.

The word "salad" comes from the French salade of the same meaning, from the Latin salata (salty), from sal (salt). In English, the word first appears as "salad" or "sallet" in the 14th century.
